Jackson Hole Luxury Rentals

Summer is in Full Swing in Jackson Hole

Adrenaline-fueled shrieks of laughter reverberate through the Hoback canyon as fleets of rafts splash through the whitewater. At each of the four corners of Town Square, friends, lovers, and families cling to each other as they pose under the iconic antler arches. Throughout the evenings, joyful sounds of live music spill onto the streets. Summer is in full swing in Jackson Hole.

We’re all holding on to that insatiable summer energy and appetite. Bouncing from one activity to the next, there’s a gentle reminder of cooler days to come hanging in the air. It’s time to recharge before the school year and take advantage of every day you have left. With an abundance of summer activities, concerts, and events to enjoy, there’s no better way to fill your last days of summer than in the mountains of Jackson Hole. 

Traveling with a group? Choose an Outpost vacation rental in Teton Village as the home base for your vacation. From mountain biking to rope courses, hikes, spas, and so much more, there are a plethora of activities just footsteps from your door when staying in our luxurious Granite Ridge Chateau, Shooting Star Lodge 1, or Timber Ridge 9 homes. Located at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, these homes are ideal for large group getaways. In the evenings, take advantage of the exceptional lineup of musicians playing through the end of August at the Grand Teton Music Festival, as well as the many wonderful dining options in Teton Village. 

If you want your August getaway closer to downtown Jackson, we recommend booking your stay at one of our One Town Hill condominiums, East Gill 4, or Grand View 5140. Each home features a unique style and offers that home-away-from-home experience for all visitors. Stay within walking distance of the rodeo, live music and line dancing at the famous Cowboy Bar, a large array of fabulous restaurants, and everything else that August in Jackson Hole has to offer. 

If you’re looking for a more secluded experience of the Tetons, the Teton Retreat, Golf Creek 35, or Teton Shadows Owen E Outpost vacation rentals are perfect for you. While each boasts unique and stunning Teton views, these homes will also give you the space you desire, with the convenience of an easy drive to downtown, Teton Village, and Grand Teton National Park. Bonus: one perk of being more secluded is the increased likelihood of wildlife sightings!

While we wish there was a way to slow down the clock, our sun-filled days of summer in the mountains are beginning to feel numbered. The best way to stretch out the time is to use every last day of summer that you can. We can’t imagine a better way to do so than a summer getaway right here in beautiful Jackson Hole.

For The Best Local Souvenirs by Town: 

Town of Jackson

We love stopping by MADE for their artisanal handmade pieces, then heading over to their carefully curated Mountain Dandy on Pearl St., where shop collections boast a vintage masculine aesthetic. These two town favorites will add character to your Jackson Hole souvenir game. 

Teton Village

The G Store is your one-stop-shop for magnets, chains, keyrings, and more. Make sure to pick up an eclectic Provisions donut while you’re in there! 

Wilson

The talented team behind MADE and Mountain Dandy extends their community reach with M in Wilson. Grab a few eccentric stationery sets, custom totes, and tasteful home goods. 

For Outdoor Apparel: 

Get ready to take a shopping (and walking) tour of Jackson while visiting our favorite outfitters for outdoor apparel and gear. JD Highcountry and Skinny Skis have your skiing, hiking, and other recreational needs covered! No spree in town is complete without a stop at Stio, Jackson’s very own outdoor clothing line. When a local spots that pine logo, you’ll be sure to receive a nod of credibility.

For New and Vintage Western Gear: 

We have a soft spot for boutiques filled with quality western gear! Unearth timeless pieces at Womenfolk, a sophisticated consignment store, and JW Bennett, the go-to place for wearable works of art—and hats. Be sure to take a stroll through the infamous Pendleton for a classic flannel or memorable blanket to bring home the colors and textures of the West. 

For Your Boutique Needs

In search of something less western? Some boutiques we’ve fallen for include Altitude, Rodeo, and Roam. You’ll also find various shops, like Terra, sprinkled throughout downtown Jackson, Wilson, and Teton Village that are sure to fill your bag with fashion-forward items.

For Good Reads: 

Valley Bookstore is teeming with books about the area and from local authors, as well as a wide range of classics and new releases. Peel back the crisp cover of your new read after brunch at Cafe Genevieve right across the road! If you find yourself in Wilson, browse through Wilson Book Gallery while grabbing a coffee from Persephone Wesbank just next door. 

It can be difficult heading home after an enjoyable vacation, but this is your opportunity to take a piece of your Jackson Hole adventure back with you – you’ll leave these exceptional stores with bags (and hearts) full of unique goodies. Experience the last of the Old West your way – your mountain getaway awaits. Now, remember, this is our little secret (which we encourage you to readily share)!

Spring wildlife in Jackson Hole

Did you know that April and May mark the off-season/mud season in Jackson Hole? It’s the quietest time to visit – if you don’t like crowds, now is the time to come out here. Snow is starting to melt, so expect mud on hiking trails and variable weather. You can also expect to see an abundance of wildlife reemerging after a long winter. There’s no time like the present to experience the resurfacing foliage and teeming wildlife of Jackson Hole – and we have all the local insight.

Pause and view the Jackson Hole wildlife

In Jackson Hole, we remain present by pausing and viewing the bountiful wildlife. Spring is a gorgeous time to stay wild. Charming baby animals start appearing in the national parks and surrounding areas during the warmer spring months. Migrating elk begin heading north for the summer and can be seen all over the valley… keep an eye out when driving! Majestic moose love hanging near the banks of the Snake and Hoback rivers and in the open sagebrush beneath the Tetons. Resident grizzly and black bears are waking from hibernation, often appearing with new cubs. 

While you can spot wildlife all over the valley, we recommend heading to our area’s treasured national parks: Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park. You and yours can experience spring wildlife at a safe distance, perfect for your family’s resident photographer or nature lover. Since it’s off-season, the parks are rarely crowded, so you can set aside extra time to explore beyond ever-popular sights like Old Faithful. Note: Yellowstone’s South Entrance opens on May 1, and Grand Teton Internal Park road will open on May 14. 

Before any wildlife excursion, it’s essential to be mindful of your environmental role and impact. Always give ALL wildlife plenty of room; you’re here to discover Jackson Hole wildlife, not disturb it. Please leave every space, plant, and animal as it is. It is incredibly important to Leave No Trace in our natural environments. For your safety and the safety of our wildlife, you must stay 25 yards away from bison, elk, and moose at all times, and 100 yards away from bears and wolves. This is their home, and it is vital to respect that. 

Keep a pair of binoculars or a scope handy in your vehicle for safe viewing of our area’s wild animals. You should always look at animals through binoculars (or a scope) rather than walking up to them. Got a new camera lens? Test it out during a scenic drive in the valley and see what incredible moments you capture. Leaving your vehicle to hike or explore? Be sure to carry bear spray and know how to use it. 

Better yet – book a guided tour for a stress-free and educational family activity! Off-season is a great time to book a wildlife tour with Eco Tours or JH Wildlife Safaris. Their guides will take you to the best places for wildlife, as well as provide tons of interesting information about the area.

As always, the weather this time of year is extremely variable! Be prepared and pack for both sunny and cold days. You can always cozy up in town and recharge in an Outpost property after what’s sure to be a successful day looking for wildlife!
